“…The social distancing measures have made families spend considerably more time at home, and parents have had increased responsibility for educational follow-up due to online or home-schooling. The importance of parental stress for child wellbeing has been demonstrated, where a reduction in parental stress during the pandemic yield increased wellbeing among the children [ 25 ]. Further, connectedness to caregivers before the pandemic has predicted wellbeing among children during the outbreak [ 26 ].…”

In this study, we aimed to examine health-related quality of life during the COVID-19 pandemic among a general sample of young people in Norway aged 11–19 years. More specifically, we examine: (1) Change over 2 time-points in five health-related quality of life dimensions, (2) Whether sociodemographic- and COVID-19-related factors contributed to change in these five dimensions, (3) Whether parental stress and socioeconomic status at T1 interacted with change in health-related quality of life across T1 and T2. Data collection lasted from April 27th to May 11th, 2020 (T1), and from December 16th, 2020, to January 10th, 2021 (T2). Youth aged 11–19 years (N = 2997) completed the KIDSCREEN-27, COVID-19 related and sociodemographic items. Parents (N = 744) of youth aged 15 years and younger completed the parental stress scale and sociodemographic items. Physical and psychological wellbeing declined significantly from March to December 2020. Subscale scores for social support and peers increased. Controlling for a broad number of sociodemographic and COVID-19-related factors did not make an overall impact on the estimates. Those worried about infection, older aged, girls, and youth born outside Norway had a steeper decline in health-related quality of life subdimensions from T1 to T2. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, we warrant special attention to the recovery of youth's physical and psychological wellbeing.

ObjectiveTo describe mental health outcomes and measures of pandemic burden of children with and without special healthcare needs, and their caregivers following the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany.DesignThis is the second of a sequential series of cross-sectional online surveys conducted among caregivers of children ≤18 years since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, administrated between 2 April 2021 and 31 July 2021.Main outcome measuresChild and parental mental health were assessed using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and WHO-5 Well-being index. Children with Special Healthcare Needs (CSHCN) were identified using the CSHCN-Screener. Descriptive statistics, linear and hierarchical logistic regression modelling assessed associations between parent-reported child mental health problems and measures of pandemic burden, disease complexity, caregiver mental well-being and socioeconomic status.Results521 participants were included in the final sample. There was a high prevalence of parent-reported mental health problems in n=302 (66.7%) children, particularly in CSHCN. Among caregivers, n=372 (72.5%) screened positive for depression. Logistic regression modelling showed a strong association of child mental health problems and disease complexity, parental mental well-being, increase in family conflict and inadequate social support.ConclusionsOur study identifies CSHCN as a particularly vulnerable group in terms of mental health outcomes. Psychosocial factors were important predictors of parent-reported child mental health problems. Policy measures should consider the importance of social support systems for vulnerable children and their families, and aim to provide accessible mental health support for caregivers.

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Seit Beginn der COVID-19-Pandemie mehren sich Befunde zu ihrem negativen Einfluss auf die psychische Gesundheit von Kindern und Jugendlichen. Bisher ist jedoch wenig darüber bekannt, ob und wie sich dies auf die psychotherapeutische Versorgung von Kindern und Jugendlichen niederschlägt. Ziel der Arbeit Die psychische Situation von Kindern und Jugendlichen sowie ihre psychotherapeutische Versorgung seit Beginn der COVID-19-Pandemie sollen aus Sicht von Kinder- und JugendlichenpsychotherapeutInnen (KJP) erfasst werden. Material und Methoden Es wurden 324 KJP aus Deutschland in einer Online-Umfrage gebeten, die letzten 6 Monate mit einem 6‑monatigen Zeitraum vor 2 Jahren zu vergleichen. Fünf- und 7‑stufige Likert-Skalen, Fragen mit Mehr- und Einfachauswahl sowie numerische und ein freies Antwortformat wurden verwendet. Ergebnisse Seit Pandemiebeginn haben sich die Wartezeiten nahezu verdoppelt. Es werden mehr Behandlungsstunden angeboten, v. a. mehr Erstgespräche durchgeführt. Therapieverlängerungen kommen häufiger, -abbrüche seltener vor. Bei der Hälfte der PatientInnen ist eine pandemieassoziierte Symptomverschlechterung aufgetreten. Alle erfragten psychischen Störungen treten z. T. deutlich häufiger auf (v. a. Depressionen, Angststörungen, Medienabhängigkeit, Schlaf‑, Anpassungs‑, Zwangs- und Essstörungen). Es erfolgen mehr Telefon- und Videositzungen als vor der Pandemie. Die Zusammenarbeit mit Eltern hat sich verstärkt, die mit dem interdisziplinären Netzwerk verringert. Diskussion Die Pandemie hat einen deutlichen Einfluss auf die psychische Verfassung und die psychotherapeutische Versorgung von Kindern und Jugendlichen in Deutschland. Eine Anpassung des Versorgungssystems an den gestiegenen Bedarf wird vorgeschlagen, um mögliche Folgeschäden der Pandemie zu begrenzen.
